Expression analysis of the polypyrimidine tract binding protein (PTBP1) and its paralogs PTBP2 and PTBP3 during Xenopus tropicalis embryogenesis
... ABSTRACT The PTB (polypyrimidine tract binding protein) family of RNA-binding proteins plays a critical role in development through the regulation of post-transcriptional events. We have deter- mined expression patterns ...

Nucleoporin gene expression in Xenopus tropicalis embryonic development
... ABSTRACT Nucleoporins (nups) compose the structure of the nuclear pore complex (NPC) of all cells, but several studies have illuminated nucleoporins’ additional roles in development and the cell cycle. However, a ...

Two members of the Fxr gene family, Fmr1 and Fxr1, are differentially expressed in Xenopus tropicalis
... FMRP, FXR1P and FXR2P belong to a small family of fragile X- related proteins (FXR family). Absence of FMRP in neurons of the central nervous system is the cause of the fragile X syndrome, the most common inherited form ...
